Description:
The Spring Summer 2010 Collection by Sassoon Academy brings crafted control to Dada chaos. Inspired by Dada icons combined with an edgy eighties hard times chic.

Off-kilter cuts are deliberately staged to give dramatic contrasts in volume and texture. Candlestick perms create clouds of candyfloss that sit with exaggerated effect next to tailored, fitted bowl shaped panels that are intricately cut from long to short. 'There's an exciting unexpectedness about this combination of opposites' says International Creative Director Mark Hayes.  'Haircuts are eccentric, bold statements which break traditional rules in the same way as the dada artists were re-inventing art.'    

Stein's poetic fragment 'Rose is a rose is a rose' provides the focus for this season's colours placed to mirror the bloom's corolla or inner structure forming a coronet of petals for the head. Cy Twombley’s huge rose canvases drenched with ecstatic colour inspire this season’s palette as it moves from rich crimson through to the deep blood red of a Harkness rose. Velvety violet is shadowed by damask pink; charcoal grey by soft cream.    

To illustrate this new direction, this DVD contains two innovative cutting and colouring techniques developed by the Sassoon Creative Team at the world renowned Sassoon Academy, London.
